The application process for NEET UG 2025 has been completed and now all the candidates have started preparing for the exam. This exam will be conducted on 4th May 2025. NEET UG is the biggest medical entrance exam in the country, in which lakhs of students participate every year. This year also 23 lakh students have registered for the exam, while the total medical seats across the country are only 1,09,048. That is, there will be competition between about 19 students for one seat.
Competition Will Be Even Tougher For Government Seats
The most competition will be seen for government seats. There are a total of 322 government medical colleges across the country, in which only 55,880 seats are available. Due to low fees and high quality education in government colleges, the priority of students always remains on government seats. In such a situation, only the students who get the top 55,880 rank will get admission to government seats. The rest of the students will have to pay high fees for admission in private colleges.
